Chinese Egg Rolls
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook 1/2 pound of ground pork over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté 1/2 cup shredded cabbage, 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, and 2 cloves of minced garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
- Add the cooked ground pork back into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll the wrapper tightly, sealing the top corner with a few drops of water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Carefully place a few egg rolls at a time into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve the Chinese egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Chinese Egg Rolls, also known as spring rolls, have a rich history dating back to ancient China. These crispy, savory delights were originally created as a way to celebrate the arrival of spring. Filled with a delectable mixture of vegetables, meat, and sometimes shrimp, the egg roll is then wrapped in a thin pastry and deep-fried to golden perfection. In modern times, this beloved dish has become a staple in Chinese cuisine and is enjoyed worldwide. Chefs like Martin Yan and Ming Tsai have popularized the egg roll in their restaurants, while regions like Guangdong and Hong Kong are known for their unique variations. Today, the best egg rolls can be found in authentic Chinese restaurants, where the key to a perfect egg roll lies in the crispy, flaky exterior and the flavorful, well-seasoned filling. Whether you prefer them as an appetizer or a main course, Chinese egg rolls are a must-try for any food enthusiast.
